My answer: “Sometimes I borrow tools from my neighbour”. DL: “Sometimes I borrow the tools from my neighbour”. My answer was marked wrong. Sorry, DL, but English omits the definite article here. We just say “...I borrow tools...” in this context. Next time around, I’m going to use “...my neighbour’s tools” just to make sure I have a sentence that’s acceptable.
